Chapter 492: She left?

At the same time, Lucas walked out of the venue to receive the call he got from Miss Zoya.

"Hello, Mr. Lucas -," Miss Zoya started, but before she could say anything else, Lucas interrupted her.

"I know why you have called. Congratulations, our Prince got the crown. He is the new king now. All his hard work finally paid off," Lucas smiled.

Miss Zoya let Lucas finish his sentence before she hummed.

"I am happy for the Prince. I kind of knew he would get the throne. We all had high hopes for him, no? But, Lucas, this is not why I have called you... This... It’s related to the Princess," Miss Zoya said, Lucas’s brows furrowing before he looked towards the venue to see her.

However, to his surprise, she wasn’t standing where she was earlier.

"What about her? Did something happen?" Lucas asked, and Miss Zoya paused for a few seconds, unsure of how to portray her doubts.

"I don’t know how to ask this. We received gifts from the Princess’s behalf in the morning. At that time we didn’t think much about it because we were busy cleaning and stuff, but we opened the gift and -"

"Is something wrong with the gift?" Lucas asked.

"No... It’s just that. Why would she send us gifts in the first place?"

"She bought a gift for everyone in the royal palace. Maybe that’s why she bought some for you guys too. Don’t think too much into -"

"It’s not the gift that bothers us, Lucas. It’s the note that is inside the gift box. I thought it was only me, but I checked with the chef, and he received one with even weirder words. Please don’t mind my words, but is everything alright between the prince and princess? She was acting weirdly yesterday morning too. And now she talks about us finding happiness. It’s almost like she is leaving or something -"

Lucas didn’t hear the rest of the words and ended the call. She was acting weird. He noticed it too. Could it be that... he shook his head to destroy those negative thoughts before they could consume him?

He had received one gift this morning in his room. However, he didn’t have enough time to open it. Thus, he rushed towards Harry who was flaunting his watch earlier. He got an expensive watch as a gift.

"Ambrose, you... You were the one who delivered those gifts to the royal palace and other members?" Lucas talked to Ambrose first who nodded.

"Did you find something weird about the Princess? Like something she must’ve said that was odd and -" Lucas shook his head.

Why was he wasting his time asking others when he could directly ask the princess?

He rushed inside the venue and looked around, trying to find the beautiful woman that their prince loved so much.

Where was she?

’No. No. No. Please don’t let it be what I am thinking,’ Lucas thought when he couldn’t find his princess anywhere.

"Lucas, where is your Princess? She was standing here just a moment ago. I can’t find her," Sebastian said in a low voice so as to not alert anyone, and Lucas gulped.

"Sir, I am afraid she is not here... She..." Lucas gulped.

"She what?" Sebastian held Lucas’s collar, making the subordinate look at his prince with sorrowful eyes.

"Why are you -" Sebastian started speaking, but before he could add anything, he heard a man calling for him.

"Sir,"

"What?" Sebastian snarled at the man lowly, and the man flinched.

"This package was left by the princess. She said to give it to you," The man said, and Lucas sighed in relief.

He was probably thinking too much. The princess was probably only playing games with them. There was no way she possibly found out about Mr. Marino’s plan and misunderstood something.

"Open it," Lucas looked at his prince who looked at the package with stern eyes.

’I will give you your present tomorrow,’ He remembered his Princess saying, and a soft smile appeared on his face.

Did she want to hide from him until he saw her gift? How childish of her. He thought with a smile.

He placed his phone on the side table through which he had been trying to call her and tore the seal.

By now, almost all the family members realized the princess was nowhere to be found, and they walked to Sebastian to ask him what was happening.

"What’s this?" Prince Marcus was the first one to speak when they saw a bottle with some chemicals in the box.

Sebastian picked up the bottle gently and read the print on the bottle, his pupils dilating.

"Poison for rogue Vampire,"

There was a note attached to it and Sebastian opened it.

’I hope you like my gift for you, Mr. Marino. I know my husband is more than capable of doing it alone, fighting those monsters, but as a wife, and as you say, your better half, it was my duty to help you in some way. This is a concentrated poison that can kill rogue vampires who survive on vampire’s blood. The last battle was severe, no? Don’t let them hurt anyone anymore. This is my second gift to you. Don’t try it on yourself either. Who knows what will happen? I love you too much to see you getting harmed by a chemical prepared by me,’

The note brought a smile to Sebastian’s face.

Prince Stephano who was standing behind the man on the stage and read the content of the note too, clenched his hand, feeling pity for the girl even more.

"Oh my god, what is this? Who says humans are any less? Look at this girl being so thoughtful and preparing something that no one even thought about," Queen Aubrey said, and Sebastian felt the warmth inside his heart at her gesture.

She was really very thoughtful. How did he get so lucky to have gotten such a kind and talented wife?

"Isn’t she deserving to be the true queen? We all doubted it a bit since she was a human and didn’t know if she would be able to deal with such a big responsibility, not to mention how she was so sweet and innocent that a tough and overbearing job like the queen’s sounded too much for her. But look how she came up with a solution even when no one asked her for it. She is truly incredible," Freya said.

Prince Stephano scoffed.

He smirked before he started laughing, his reaction catching everyone off-guard.

"Brother, are you alright?" Prince Marcus asked, and Prince Stephano shook his head.

"I just... Haha... This is too funny for me to digest. You guys are talking about making her queen and all that shit -"

"Prince Stephano, Language!" Giotto said to his son, but Stephano just chuckled.

"Let me complete my sentence first, Dad. You guys are trying to put Princess Elliana on the pedestal, did you once ask our little King over here if he wants to make her his queen? And did you ask the person in question herself if she wanted to be the queen?" He asked.

"What do you mean? She is my wife! Of course, she would take up the position of -" Sebastian started, not liking the tone.

"Stop it, Sebastian," Prince Stephano’s eyes immediately turned red, and he pushed Sebastian, making the man stumble back and growl back at him.

Everyone became alert.

Prince Santo and Marcus immediately stepped forward.

"Brother, what’s wrong? Why are you acting like this in front of everyone? Is it about the throne? But didn’t you back from the throne yesterday? You yourself wanted to give your votes to Prince Sebastian, so what is this -"

"I know! That’s why I am fucking angry!" Prince Stephano raised his voice.

"This..." His voice quivered as he thought about that innocent girl’s hurt expression and how hard she was trying to hide her tears from him.

He wasn’t heartless to not see what she went through in that moment.

"I did all of this for this guy. Because I wanted to repent for what I did. And this... This person over here, this man -" Prince Stephano pushed Sebastian again.

"Don’t test my patience, brother," Sebastian growled at Prince Stephano who chuckled.

"This brother of mine ruined his life for this throne. He... He broke her heart so brutally that I don’t think anything would be able to heal it. She saw you, you bastard!" Prince Stephano said, making Sebastian’s eyes start to turn normal.

He didn’t know what Prince Stephano was talking about, but for some reason -

"She saw you hugging that Brooklyn. She saw you allowing her to take off your mask! Do... Huh... Do you have any idea how broken she was? At that moment...I saw her shattering. You did all for this throne when I was already giving it to you!" Prince Stephano said.

Sebastian stumbled back in shock.

His hands trembled as he looked around with anxiousness.

’She saw you. She saw you hugging Brooklyn,’ Prince Stephano’s words echoed in his head as he ran around.

"Princess!" Sebastian roared.

"Princess!" He tried to look for her, the realization hitting his heart terribly.

Those eyes... Those eyes full of pain and betrayal that were looking at him and smiling... He understood everything but...

"Princess! Where are you? Please come out. It’s not what it looks like," Sebastian roared, his beast going into a panic frenzy as everyone looked at the man shocked.

Meanwhile, Prince Marcus, who saw that there was something else in the box, grabbed the first document and opened the file.

However, as soon as he read the content, the document slipped from his hand.

"What is it?" Freya asked him anxiously, and Marcus shook his head.

"Divorce agreement," Marcus whispered, but his voice was audible to Sebastian, and it was enough for the man to freeze in his place.

What did he say?
